Abstract:
The article deals with the problems of exhibiting monuments of material
heritage in the museum space, analyzes the mobility of Caucasian women, as well
as various women’s socio-cultural practices in public space. Extensive research on
gender issues allows us to speak about the relevance of the issues discussed. The
main purpose of the work is to problematize the boundaries of women’s mobility,
which went beyond the home. The first part of the article analyzes the issue of
female mobility, which is the main theoretical task of the work. The second part of
the article is devoted to the discussion of both the social status of the Caucasian
woman and the status of the space itself – urban and traditionally rural. These
topics form the practical task of the article, which consists in reconstructing a
conditional historical epoch through a subject thematic series. To achieve this
goal and solve problems, the authors used the principles and methods of the
anthropology of movement, which allows us to consider in a new way certain
phenomena in different historical periods - from antiquity to the present, as well as
the theory of social space by Pierre Bourdieu. The conducted studies demonstrate
that the Caucasian woman was included in the public space and took an active
part in family, tribal, and quarterly ritual practices. In addition, the courtesy visits
made by women were an integral part of their daily lives. When considering the
traditional rural (mountain) and urban space, the article draws attention to the
specific elements of their differences. Museum exposure allows you to demonstrate
through the subject range the features of both types of social space.
Keywords: Caucasus, women’s mobility, museum, museum space, exhibition.
